[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 5093826, member: 20424"] Decoys are the most useful in a spot where they can be seen from a long distance. For example, a rise or hill in a large open field. In such a case, a hen and jake is a good combination. The jake will cause some other jakes or toms to hang up, but it will cause others to charge in. The jake decoy will draw their attention for sure. The decoys don’t have to be perfect; it is the colors and basic shapes that attract them. The red head of a jake for example. Or the semi circle of a fan. If you keep the decoys close enough to your shooting position, you can still get a shot at birds that hang up 25 yds from the decoys, which happens some times. [/QUOTE]
